Leather Squeaks

Sometimes when you order a high-end leather in motion furniture you will find the chair is noisy when sat in. You might hear the sound of leather rubbing against leather or 'squeaking'. You may remember that better hides have less topcoating on them, and tend to have flatter finishes as well. The friction is then higher than on more glazed or glossy leathers.

There is a fix though. If this happens to your leather furniture, simply take a little baby powder or talc, and place it where the two surfaces come together. Use sparingly as a little goes a long way. This helps the premium hides glide against one another and won't harm the leathers whatsoever. It may not eliminate the 'squeaks' completely, but it will make them tolerable.
